summary method for objects of class "rlm"
## S3 method for class 'rlm'
summary(object, method = c("XtX", "XtWX"), correlation = FALSE, ...)
object | 
 the fitted model.
This is assumed to be the result of some fit that produces
an object inheriting from the class   | 
method | 
 Should the weighted (by the IWLS weights) or unweighted cross-products matrix be used?  | 
correlation | 
 logical. Should correlations be computed (and printed)?  | 
... | 
 arguments passed to or from other methods.  | 
This function is a method for the generic function
summary() for class "rlm".
It can be invoked by calling summary(x) for an
object x of the appropriate class, or directly by
calling summary.rlm(x) regardless of the
class of the object.
If printing takes place, only a null value is returned.
Otherwise, a list is returned with the following components.
Printing always takes place if this function is invoked automatically
as a method for the summary function.
correlation | 
 The computed correlation coefficient matrix for the coefficients in the model.  | 
cov.unscaled | 
 The unscaled covariance matrix; i.e, a matrix such that multiplying it by an estimate of the error variance produces an estimated covariance matrix for the coefficients.  | 
sigma | 
 The scale estimate.  | 
stddev | 
 A scale estimate used for the standard errors.  | 
df | 
 The number of degrees of freedom for the model and for residuals.  | 
coefficients | 
 A matrix with three columns, containing the coefficients, their standard errors and the corresponding t statistic.  | 
terms | 
 The terms object used in fitting this model.  |
